Two thoughts on places to visit in the Oxford area:
Oxfordshire Craft Guild:
The OCG runs a Craft Gallery at Chipping Norton, 20 miles north of
Oxford on the A44
This site also has links to several area potters, including:
Clare Wratten; Selma Stagg; Jane Hanson; Sidney Hhardwick; Kirstie
Reynolds;
Oxford Ware Pottery Kiln from Headington, Oxford: 3rd/4th century AD

The Oxfordshire Museum, Woodstock is on the A44, seven miles north of
Oxford:
